Chiranjeevi supports farmers' agitation against SEZSeptember 26th, 2008 - 10:37 pm ICT by IANS
Hyderabad, Sep 26 (IANS) Telugu superstar-turned-politician Chiranjeevi Friday supported the struggle of farmers affected by the Pharma Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Polepalli in Mahbubnagar district and hit back at the Congress government by branding it a "land broker".The chief of the newly-floated Praja Rajyam Party visited the village, about 80 km from here, met the affected people and promised to return their land if his party was voted to power in the next year's state assembly elections.
Chiranjeevi said if voted to power, his party would return agricultural land acquired for all SEZs in the state. "No agricultural land will be acquired for any SEZ," he said.
The actor, who visited the distressed weavers in Sircilla town last week, Friday drove to Polepalli as part of his effort to understand the problems faced by people. The affected people poured out their tale of woe as he went from door to door to interact with them. He later participated in a sit-in along with the farmers to demand that the government return their lands.
The villagers alleged that of the 1,000 acres acquired by the government from over 300 farmers in 2002, only 155 acres were earmarked for the Pharma SEZ. They said they were paid compensation of a mere Rs.18,000 per acre against the market price of Rs.1 million.
Chiranjeevi alleged that the real estate business was being done in the guise of SEZ and that the government was acting like a "land broker".
Pointing out that of 256 SEZs sanctioned in the entire country, 54 were coming up in Andhra Pradesh alone, he alleged that the government was acquiring land of the poor at its own whims and fancies and gifting it to the rich.
"The rich should pay for the land they want to take from the poor. The rich should make sacrifices for poor but in this state it is the poor who are making sacrifices for the rich," he maintained.
Calling for a review of the SEZ policy, he said SEZ developers should be asked to acquire land without the involvement of politicians.
"The government should come out with details like the number of industries that have come in these SEZs," he demanded. He told the farmers that he was not like other politicians who have visited them and assured that the situation would soon change and their problems would be solved.
A section of the farmers, however, was not satisfied with Chiranjeevi and said he failed to take a clear stand on their demands.
Chiranjeevi, who launched the political party last month, visited Sircilla town in Karimnagar district last week to express solidarity with families of weavers who committed suicide.

I would love to say that the staff here are really are extremely compassionate understanding and they are willing to help you succeed.

I'm here to tell you if you're interested in Dr Garcia's weight loss program I strongly suggest you reach out to his office for a free consultation and find out how your success journey may start.
Vondalynn's Real Garcia Weight Loss Patient Testimonial
Hi I'm Deidra Crosby and I am a hairstylist a wife and a mother. I'm also just as busy of a woman as anyone else who struggles with weight loss. However Dr. Garcia's weight loss management program has made the process so much easier. By following the process as they recommend with exercise and following the diet plan it really has been coming off so much faster than what I could have ever done on my own. The staff here also has made it easier because they are encouraging and they're friendly and the scheduling has been great because I am a hairstylist and I have a crazy schedule but they've been very accommodating with that. They also have bars and shakes and chips. If you believe that or not they have bars that you can eat during the day as a snack with being you know my schedule you know hit and miss with lunch time I'm able to eat those bars to keep me going throughout the day. Give me a little pick me up. They have many flavors and some of them are really awesome. I don't think they taste like a diet bar. But the other thing is that I know so many clients who are curious and interested in stuff like this that they just don't take that leap to give them a call. But it's important for everyone to know that is a free consultation. So if you have any questions or if you're just a little bit curious It doesn't cost anything just come here and ask them whatever questions that you have. So give Dr Garcia's office a call today and make that appointment. and just ask those questions.

Project Overview
SynQL aims to do the same for data sharing and synchronisation for developers as Dropbox does for file sharing. The Project objective is to take the problem of database synchronisation and to build a solution to this problem for applications (apps) running on mobile devices.
The resulting technology will be a utility for app developers, delivered through the cloud which will allow them to develop apps with powerful app data synchronisation and collaboration features without having to solve the sync problem.
A key element of most apps is the use of varying types of database which reside on the device itself and which allow the app to store and retrieve data which is persistent. In the case of an app which connects to the web, this process allows the app to function even when there is no web connection.
The consumer device market is highly fragmented [figure], and in order to compete in this market the app developer must be able deliver a product to multiple platforms. The end-user of the app expects to be able to access their apps on multiple devices, with the most up-to-date data appearing on the screen, and with the ability to continuously process or consume information.
From a developer point of view, there is an increased complexity in building compelling apps to cater for a plurality of device platforms, allow users to access their data on multiple devices and share and connect information with other users. While synchronisation is the key to enabling this level of interconnectivity there are significant hurdles to be overcome in developing a robust solution. These include the need to cater for multiple platforms, to optimise data transmission and to work with mobile and intermittent connections
The aim of this project is to develop an easy-to-use sync technology for mobile devices that makes the task of building connected apps more affordable and accessible to developers.
Project Implementation
The SynQL system consists of a number of separate software agents, some of which can take multiple roles. The primary relationship is between the client role and the server role, whereby the client synchronizes data with the server. Typically clients are mobile devices or individual machines, whereas the server is a large scale hosted platform. However, from the client role perspective, the server role is simply an API for data synchronization, and the scale of the server role is not apparent.
This enables a secondary relationship: client peering. In this relationship, clients can mutually synchronize without reference to a server. The mechanism is for each client to treat the other as a server, and proceed as if synchronizing with a server. When a client plays the server role, this is distinguished by assigning it a "peer" role. Thus all clients can also play peer roles, where they offer the server API to other clients.
The directory role provides the tertiary relationship. In order for clients and servers to register themselves and be discoverable, a core set of directories are used to provide routing information. Software agents in this case take the "directory" role. Note that most deployments will combine the server and directory roles in one physical (or virtual) configuration.
Project Achievements
The technology is currently under trial license to nearForm ltd., an Enterprise Ireland HPSU client.
Further, nearForm ltd intends to license and commercialise the technology during 2013.
It is anticipated that this will form the primary commercialisation approach for this project.

Though not biologically related, friends are as "related" as fourth cousins, sharing about 1% of genes. That is 1 a study published from the University of California and Yale University in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has 2 .
The study is a genome-wide analysis conducted 3 1932 unique subjects which 4 pairs of unrelated friends and unrelated strangers. The same people were used in both 5 .
While 1% may seem 6 , it is not so to a geneticist. As co-author of the study James Fowler, professor of medical genetics at UC San Diego says, "Most people do not even 7 their fourth cousins but somehow manage to select as friends the people who 8 our kin."
The team also developed a "friendship score" which can predict who will be your friend based on their genes.
The study 9 found that the genes for smell were something shared in friends but not genes for immunity. Why this similarity in smell genes is difficult to explain, for now. 10, as the team suggests, it draws us to similar environments but there is more 11 it. There could be many mechanisms working in tandem that 12 us in choosing genetically similar friends 13 than "functional kinship" of being friends with 14 !
One of the remarkable findings of the study was that the similar genes seem to be evolving 15 than other genes. Studying this could help 16 why human evolution picked pace in the last 30,000 years, with social environment being a major 17 factor.
The findings do not simply corroborate people's 18 to befriend those of similar 19 backgrounds, say the researchers. Though all the subjects were drawn from a population of European extraction, care was taken to 20 that all subjects, friends and strangers were taken from the same population. The team also controlled the data to check ancestry of subjects.

King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted kings don't abdicate, they die in their sleep. But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So, dies the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy is seeing its last days? Does that mean the uniting is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyles?
The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy when public opinion is particularly. Polarized, as it was following the end of the France regime, monarchs can rise above "mere" politics and "embody" a spirit of national unity.
It is this apparent transcendence of politics that explains monarchs continuing popularity as heads of states. And also, the Middle East expected, Europe is the most monarch-infested region is the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican City and Andorra). But unlike their absolutist counterparts in the Gulf and Asia, most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respect public figure.
Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside, symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history—and sometimes the way they behave today-embodies outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is bizarre that wealthy aristocratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic states. The most successful monarchies strive to abandon or hide their old aristocratic ways. Prince and princess have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses (or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media intrusiveness makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image.
While Europe's monarchies will no doubt be smart enough to strive for some time to come, it is the British royals who have most to fear from the Spanish example.
It is only the Queen who has preserved the monarchy reputation with her rather ordinary (if well-heeled) granny style. The danger will come with Charles, who has both an expensive taste of lifestyle and a pretty hierarchical view of the world. He has failed to understand that monarchies have largely survived because they provide a service—as non-controversial and non-political heads of state. Charles ought to know that as English history shows, it is kings of republicans, who are the monarchy's worst enemies.
21、according to the first two paragraphs, king Juan Carl of spain
[A] used to enjoy high public support
[B] was unpopular among European royals
[C] ended his reign in embarrassment
[D] cased his relationship with his rivals
22、monarchs are kept as head of state in Europe mostly
[A] owing to their undoubted and respectable status
[B] to achieve a balance between tradition and reality
[C] to give voters more public figures to look up to
[D] due to their everlasting political embodiment
23. Which of the following is shown to be odd, according to Paragraph 4?
[A] Aristocrats' excessive reliance on inherited wealth.
[B] The simple lifestyle of the aristocratic families.
[C] The role of the nobility in modern democracies.
[D] The nobility's adherence to their privileges.
24. The British royals "have most to fear" because Charles
[A] takes a tough line on political issues.
[B] fails to change his lifestyle as advised.
[C] takes republicans as his potential allies.
[D] fails to adapt himself to his future role.
25. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
[A] Carlos, Glory and Disgrace Combined
[B] Carlos, a Lesson for All European Monarchs
[C] Charles, Slow to React to the Coming Threats
[D] Charles, Anxious to Succeed to the Throne

Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.
California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.
The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California's advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.
They should start by discarding California's lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone- a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspect's purse .The court has ruled that police don't violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook, of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee's reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of "cloud computing." meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.
But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution's protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.
26. The Supreme Court, will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to
[A] search for suspects' mobile phones without a warrant.
[B] check suspects' phone contents without being authorized.
[C] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.
[D] prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.
27. The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of
[A] tolerance.
[B] indiffere

Dr. Paulo Martins shows off his charming voice and ukulele skills in this viral hit, but his performance pales in comparison to his captive audiences. Sure, the music is a true treat but the dancing steals the show.
Sophia was recorded dancing in a hallway at the Hospital das Clínicas of Ribeirao Preto. Her tiny feet, small stature, wisps of hair and circumstances have garnered her some significant attention.
Sophia, at such a tender and vulnerable age, is already fighting the fight of her life. She was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare disease that affects approximately 2.6 children per million.
Sophia doesn't let her IV get in the way of her instinctively enjoying her serenade. In under a minute Sophia will find a small place in your heart and set up permanent shop.
Her video has attracted over 5.2 million views on Facebook. The comment section reflected that kind of volume and has garnered over 13 thousand comments.
Kristy Daniels wrote on Facebook, "She's so beautiful and adorable even with everything she's going through she still has a wonderful spirit."
This video is easy to watch twice or three times or you can just put it on repeat and let it go.

If this matter went to court he would ONLY get credit for the monies spent on the house - so no he cannot deduct the car payments in this way and I suggest that you make it clear to him that if he attempts to do so then you will take action to recover the funds.

Two grades. One classroom. Starting in grades 1-2, students enter a mixed age group environment. By interacting with children whose ages and abilities are varied, they learn to help and be helped by other children. They gain an appreciation for the accomplishments of others, and are naturally challenged by the achievements of their classmates. Because students are placed with the same homeroom teacher for two years, teachers have time to evaluate each child's progress and to support their individual learning needs.
In grades 1-2, students continue to develop language-based skills along with an appreciation for literature. Students' writing fluency develops as we integrate writing across all subjects, encouraging students to use writing to interpret research, present information, and express ideas and emotions. Children learn that mathematics is a language for describing and understanding the world. Teachers encourage students to search for spatial and numerical relationships and patterns and to solve problems creatively, articulating the process as well as the solution.
Core Curriculum
Additional Curriculum
Field Trips, Speakers, and Overnights
A large part of Stargate's curricular support comes in the form of field trips and guest speakers. Students in the 1-2 program make approximately one field trip per month. Guest speakers also visit the school on a regular basis to discuss a variety of topics.
Even in first and second grade, students also participate in outdoor education. We start in the primary grades with one big day-long adventure, to help them prepare for longer stays in the mountains for grades 5-8. Homeroom teachers organize these events and keep parents informed about the field trip program.

My dear brothers and sisters, at this particular juncture I want to...I want to coin a question. And that question is, 'what is our relationship with our parents?' Right now I want you to ask yourselves, 'what is our relationship with our parents?'
'Are we diligent children with our parents?'
'Are our parents truly happy with us?'
'Are there days in our parent's lives when they sit and they wish we would be different children to what we are?'
Ask yourself this question, especially our mothers! Because Rasoolullah (ﷺ) taught us about how the mother has a precedence in our lives over the father. And to make us understand this better...I want you to imagine a mother who writes a letter to her child. What do you think this mother would say in her letter?
Would she not say,
'My Dear Son, a long time ago...I received the best news a mother can receive, a human being can receive. And that was the news when I was informed that I was pregnant with you.
And my dear child...
I cannot express how happy I was on that day!
And weeks passed by after that. And my body started changing. And I was scared. Because I could not eat except that I would vomit what I ate. And I would feel weak. And my body started expanding as you grew in me. And my dear child I promise you...that with all the fear that I had, I was loving you more with everyday that passed...
Even though all these was happening to me!
The day that I held you, became even more dearer to me and my dear child...
Those weeks became months and I became even more heavier to such an extent where I couldn't stand for long. I couldn't walk for long.
And then a time came when I couldn't even sleep on my back because of the weight of carrying you would cause immense pain on my chest. So I would sleep on my side. But I would fear when I would turn to my side that I might role on to my stomach and harm you. That was a fear in my mind, my dear child!
But I would try my best and everyday that passed...my love for you grew stronger. And my desire to hold you grew stronger. Until my dear child, the day came when I felt a pain that I never ever felt in my life before. A pain in which I thought I would die. Wallahi! I thought I was going to die. A pain which I would not wish that my enemy felt. And it was the day when you were about to enter in this world. And it lasted for long.
Pain after pain!
Contraction after contraction!
Second after second, minute after minute by Allah it felt like a life time.
I thought I wouldn't survive from this but I promise you my dear child that there was never a moment, never a moment that I hated you during that process!
Never a moment where I said an evil word to you or an evil word about you. Rather my desire for you, my desire to hold you, my desire to see you, kept me going. That in sha Allah it's soon, that in sha Allah it soon...and I carried on going!
I never ever said that I will take revenge over you after you are born. I never ever said that woe to you, woe to you!
I never uttered a word of enmity and hatred towards you as I suffered these pangs that felt like the pangs of death. And then my dear son, oh my dear child! You entered this world. And when I saw you, the pangs of death that I thought I felt...dissipated. And the tears that I had in my eyes became tears of joy. And the hurt that I felt in my body became a hurt of joy!
As I held you and brought you to my chest and smiled and said,
'Subhaana Rabbial 'Ala!'
Allah has blessed us with a great blessing.'
Allahu Akbar!

Can you continue doing business if the power fails?
Based on estimates, a single hour of downtime costs a small business an average of £800 and a large commercial organisation £8,500. These estimates are not inclusive of costs incurred by damaged IT equipment (an occasional side-effect of power cuts).
The office workplace remains at most risk of power cut induced downtime, accounting for 80% of disruptions.
Essentially, our grid power is becoming less reliable – and many businesses are not taking enough measures to protect themselves from power cuts and other sources of power failure.
A power cut does not 'only' affect IT and other associated equipment but can have knock-on effects on many other areas of a business such as:
Our experience shows that whilst IT equipment is often covered by an uninterruptible power supply, more and more of our customers are investing in a standby power strategy to cover much more than IT as part of their business continuity programme.
Extending the capacity of, or introducing multiple UPS, and incorporating long-term backup power from a generator allows a business to cover all of their ongoing power needs allowing uninterrupted business in the event of a mains or grid power failure.
For information on how UPS Systems can provide cover for both critical and all of your operational systems please contact us.

|Ruby and the Rib Cage!
If you've been paying attention to our weekly (and incredibly awesome) top 20 songs, you'd likely be familiar with Ruby and the Rib Cage's track 'Horror.' It's an enticing piece of folksy-pop that features the debut of one of the most exciting new voices in music, that of frontwoman Ruby, who we will now speak of as Ruby Ribcage. Soaring, inviting and infused with the best of soul and blues music, Ruby's voice is one that we'll be hearing a whole lot more of in the future.
While the band has only been around for less than a year, they've already built up an impressive profile in the UK with their live performances and they've even landed a coveted spot on the Secret Garden Party festival's line-up for 2012. The lovely Ruby Ribcage was gracious enough to take some time to answer some of our questions and we're excited to bring you our second artist interview for the week! We chatted about dream festivals, new music and silent retreats in Thailand... here's what Ruby had to say?
Q. Let's kick things off with an easy question. What music are you into at the moment?
Ruby: I'm a big fan of a new British band called Daughter, and also of Lianne La Havas. Laura Marling always has a place on my iPod, and I'm also really in to To Kill a King right now. They have some amazing acoustic sessions on YouTube, mainly the ones for the Crypt Sessions and City Sessions. You should check them out!
Q. We love to hear things straight from the talented vocalists mouth, so tell us, how did Ruby and the Rib Cage come to be?
Ruby: Well.. We're slightly unconventional, in that this time last year, none of us knew each other. We formed last July after I placed adverts in most of London's music uni's and all over the net, and then after filtering the applications down I auditioned over 30 musicians in my flat in East London. I found most of the band this way, but struggled to find a guitarist, and eventually a friend suggested Aaron, and he was perfect. So the search was over! We're all really lucky, because we all get on great, and everyone is so dedicated and talented. It's a very exciting place to be right now.
Q. What can we expect to hear from Ruby and the Rib Cage over the next couple of months? A debut album perhaps?
Ruby: I'm afraid we're not that far yet! We've got some live demo's online at www.soundcloud.com/rubyandtheribcage and have recently been approached by a producer and sound engineer team who are going to produce and mix our first EP at the end of April and have already had a small label offer to release it. We also have a new song coming out in a couple of weeks to keep you interested. It's our first proper studio recording, and is called 'Dandelion.' We'll be releasing it on our soundcloud, so do keep an eye out! Then our EP should be ready in the summer. In the meantime we're also doing lots of acoustic sessions for channels like Balcony TV and The Mahogany Sessions - so watch this space!
Q. The power and soulful qualities of your voice and like a gateway to the golden age of music. Which iconic singers have had the greatest influence on your music?
Ruby: Ha! Woweee I like that description! Annie Lennox, Aretha, The Commitments, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, and Eddi Reader, were all early influences. I love huuuge voices with gravel, depth and power. I know I've got a fairly powerful set of lungs on me, so I guess when I was a kid I just loved singing along to that stuff because it expressed the same force of energy I wanted to express.
Q. You're hitting the festival scene pretty hard in 2012, with appearances at Secret Garden Party, Wilderness Festival and Playgroup Festival (among others). If you could play any festival in the world, what would it be?
Ruby: There are soo many! I hear you guys have some pretty amazing festivals over there. My mate Sam is travelling in Oz, and I keep seeing his facebook flooded with praise for your festivals! I guess there are two main ones I'd really love to perform at above all others, mostly due to childhood/teenage ambition. Glastonbury (the pyramid or main stage)! And Burning Man in America. A lot of my friends love Burning Man, and although I'm keen to go, I only really want to go as a performer. I hear its a pretty epic experience, and I always enjoy festivals so much more when I have a purpose.
Q: Congratulations! You've won a two week, all expenses paid vacation in exotic Thailand. The catch? You have to do a twenty-four hour silent retreat in a Buddhist monastery. The monks are generous and have allowed you to select five album to meditate to throughout the day. What albums do you choose?
Ruby: Silence?! I once did a 10 day yoga retreat, where you were ALLOWED to talk, and I still tried to escape because I couldn't handle how few people were there. Yikes.
Ok, so the five albums I'd go for would be... Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can, mainly because I still don't feel I've totally sussed it out yet (despite numerous listens), it's so so different to her old stuff. I'd also take Annie Lennox, Diva, for morale, And I'd have a word with the nice people at Amazon online, and see if they wouldn't sort me out with an early issue of Daughters' album (it isn't out yet), I reckon considering the circumstances they might let me have an early preview. On top of those three I'd take PJ Harvey's album, Let England Shake, to feed my homesickness, and perhaps I'd trade in my 5th album, for a banjo.. Can I do that? I know its cheating but I figure I could probably make a ukulele from bamboo and horse hair (I hope there's horses on this island), but I don't fancy my chances at making a banjo.
--> You may create the bamboo/horse hair ukulele for us and we will reward you with a banjo. Deal? Deal.
Q. I can practically guarantee that Australia is going to love you, so are there any plans to look into touring over this side of the world?
Ruby: Yes, yes, yes. We just need a record deal/manager/agent etc. first I'm afraid. I'm working on all that though!
Thanks for stopping by Ruby!

Michael Phelps is Today's Olympian
Michael Phelps is interviewed by Matt Lauer on the NBC Today Show set after after winning eight gold medals at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on Tuesday in Beijing, China.
"I'm just exhausted," Phelps told Lauer from the Today set in Beijing. "I feel like I haven't stopped moving for 10 days straight – but it's been fun, this is an experience I've always dreamed of."
The 23-year-old Olympian talked about the 100m butterfly race where he won by 1/100th of a second. "I had no idea where we were – I mean, I knew we were all together," Phelps said. "I didn't know if I was ahead, behind, whatever, and about 15-20 meters out, I was focused on hitting the wall perfectly, trying to have a good last stroke, and I when I took that last stroke I thought that cost me the race."
But in the end, Phelps said, "It was the perfect finish for a close race, and definitely does not get any better than that."

About National Core Indicators for Aging and Disabilities
The National Core Indicators-Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD™) is an initiative designed to support states' interest in assessing the performance of their programs and delivery systems in order to improve services for older adults and individuals with physical disabilities. NCI-AD is a collaborative effort between the National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities (NASUAD) and the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). NCI-AD's primary aim is to collect and maintain valid and reliable data that give states a broad view of how publicly-funded services impact the quality of life and outcomes of service recipients.
NCI-AD brings an important value proposition to the field of aging and disability services through development of indicators and outcomes that assess quality of life, community integration, and person-centered services. The project will help to address long-recognized gaps in assessing outcomes in long term services and supports (LTSS) service systems that go beyond measures of health and safety to address important social, community, and person-centered goals as well as quality of life.
Data for the project are gathered through annual in-person surveys administered by state agencies to a sample of at least 400 older adults and individuals with physical disabilities accessing publicly-funded services in skilled nursing facilities, Medicaid waivers, Medicaid state plan programs, and/or state-funded programs, as well as older adults served by Older Americans Act programs. The survey instrument includes a background survey, which gathers data about the consumer from agency records, and an in-person survey, which includes subjective satisfaction-related questions that can only be answered by the consumer, and objective questions that can be answered by the consumer or, if needed, their proxy. Project team interprets each state's data and produces reports that can support state efforts to strengthen LTSS policy, inform quality improvement activities, and compare their performance with national norms.

Writing is creation.
I have held to this belief for as long as I can remember, and even wrote a blog about it a few months ago. To be a writer is to be a creator, and a creator puts himself in his writing. Like the typical Christian-ese phrase says, "The creation speaks of the Creator", and I've always felt that writing is just like that. My creations should be demonstrating me, and pointing back to my abilities; there should be some defining characteristic of my work that makes people pause and say, "Ah, that is definitely Daniel's creation."
Yet Bret Lott in his book Letters and Life: On Being a Writer, On Being a Christian, completely turns my thinking upside down. He describes the mindset that he used to have when he first began writing, a mindset nearly identical to mine, and pointed out a lesson he learned from Raymond Carver: to get out of the way.
Lott learned that he needed to get out of the way of his own writing. The writer should be the very last thought on any reader's mind, with all focus on the characters and the work they are doing. Rather than the creation speaking of the creator in writing, the creation should be speaking for itself.
This idea of me getting in the way of my own writing really sends my mind for a loop. Everything I do, I need to have a hands-on approach, and I must leave my mark. Yet, Lott suggests that for my writing to truly develop into anything, I must swallow my pride and get out of the way. Easier said than done, but it's worth a shot I suppose.

New changes in how New York Court's Commercial Division will have litigant file confidential documents submitted takes effect today.
The changes are part of an amendment to the division's Standard Form of Confidentiality Order that establishes a more formal process for submitting confidential documents in an e-filed case.
Litigants in counties with mandatory e-filing (like New York County) will be able to file redacted versions of the confidential documents, but then must move to seal the documents within seven days or they will be required to take steps to replace the redacted filings with un-redacted versions.
Previously, litigants could file confidential documents as hard copies with a motion to seal, or sidestep the process of obtaining a formal motion to seal and submit papers directly to the assigned judge's chambers without filing them. This created problems for New York appeals because without a proper motion on file, the appellate record would not include the confidential documents.
If your New York business is involved in commercial litigation, or is contemplating commercial litigation, make sure your attorney is aware of these new rules so that your confidential information remains confidential.

Molecular evolution of synthetic Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors in an artificial microvascular liver system and their use for cell-specific gene knockdown/knock-out
Dr. Dirk Grimm, BioQuant, Univerität Heidelberg
Prof. Dr. Ute Schepers, Institut für Toxikologie und Genetik, KIT
|Project Group:
Synthetic Biology
The human liver is a vital, large and complex organ that is composed of a variety of different cell types, most notably, hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells (liver-resident macrophages) and stellate cells. Due to its key role in normal metabolism and in genetic, acquired or infectious diseases, there is a great demand for novel ex vivo organotypic model systems that faithfully recapitulate the multi-cellular composition of the human liver, and that allow to study and to deliberately perturb the physiological interaction of the various cell types. In parallel, emerging clinical data showcase the potential of in vivo gene therapies in the liver, especially when using recombinant vectors based on apathogenic Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) for gene transfer. Fueling this enthusiasm is that AAV vectors can be genetically engineered to deliver the components of two powerful techniques for gene regulation, RNA interference (RNAi) and genome editing (CRISPR), implying options to create new classes of gene therapeutics to treat a wealth of hepatic diseases. Towards these seminal aims, the labs of Prof. Ute Schepers (KIT) and Dr. Dirk Grimm (Heidelberg University) will team up and synergistically combine their profound and unique expertises, tools and technologies. This includes a novel, dynamic, 3D organotypic liver model comprising an artificial microvasculature (μ3DVasc) coated by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and surrounded by a 3D compartment for culture of multiple hepatic cell types (Schepers lab). It moreover includes a large collection of natural and synthetic AAV capsids as well as of AAV genomes permitting combinatorial RNAi and/or CRISPR expression (Grimm lab). The aims of this project are to harness these AAV capsids/genomes for efficient modulation of specific cell types in the new ex vivo liver model, and, vice versa, to exploit this model to further evolve and fine-tune AAV vectors for future clinical use in the human liver.

Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Here is the lookbook shot by photographer Nickolas Sushkevich.
Here is the lookbook shot by photographer Nickolas Sushkevich.
In the constantly growing annals of street-style photography, one shot has already gone down in history: Tommy Ton's October 2011 image of a woman dressed head to toe in an iconic Louis Vuitton and Richard Prince nurse ensemble. She's staring at herself in a gilded makeup compact, her bright-blue eyes peering over a LV Monogram veil. The woman in question, 32-year-old Ulyana Sergeenko, a Russian couture shopper turned designer, became known in industry circles when her theatrical, Soviet-inspired style—dressed to the nines outside every fashion show, much to the delight of photographers—landed her on every street-style blog. The veil was the extra-special last touch that made it—and the person wearing it—unforgettable.
What makes Sergeenko's clothes so distinct is their mix of traditional Russian influences and modern sophistication. Her muses are her grandmother ("my beloved babushka") and Galliano. She takes legendary fashion moments and infuses them with elements of Russian history, as in the collection where she fantasized Brigitte Bardot working in the Soviet-era film studio Mosfilm. Her most recent show, which debuted at the Théâtre Marigny this past January, was a dream of Scarlett O'Hara entering the world of illustrator Yuri Vasnetsov's Russian fairy tales. It was a concise, dramatic presentation, and upon closer inspection the details didn't disappoint: handmade lace, straw weaving, intricate embroidery, and hand-painted porcelain buttons from the small of the neck to the top of a high heel. O'Hara's infamous curtain dress showed up as a plunging off-the-shoulder ball gown in emerald satin. It's important to Sergeenko not only to celebrate Russian culture but to support it: Her line is designed and produced entirely in Russia.

ANSWER by Joseph
To start, let me say that I am what is known as a "Young Earth Creationist". This means that not only do I believe that God created the entire universe in six days, like described in the Bible, I also believe that, compared to the secular dates of around 4.5 billion years, the earth is young, only around 6,000 years old.* In this answer, I will give the reasons and evidences for this age. In order to do that, I will use two methods, one theological and one scientific. Let's start with the theological
When dealing with the age of the earth and the Bible, it is always the Bible that should be our defining point. This is because as Christians, we believe that the Bible is the infallible word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All Scripture is inspired (literally 'breathed') by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." All of our understanding of the world should come through the Bible. It should be the basis of our thinking in every area. Therefore it is here that we shall start.
It is important to recognise that nowhere in the Bible is it stated, "The Earth is 6,000 years old". And a good job too, as it would be out of date the following year! This shouldn't surprise us, as we wouldn't expect God to make such a mistake. Instead, what He gave us was instead, as birth certificate. Just as you can work out your age from your birth certificate, we can do the same with the earth. Genesis says that the Earth was created on the first day of creation week (Genesis 1:1-5). From there we can begin to work out the age of the Earth. Let me show you how.
Genesis tells us that Adam, the first man, was created on day six of creation week, five days after the Earth. We know these were literal days, as Jesus tells us in Matthew 19:4 "He who made them at the beginning made them male and female". Note, man was made at the beginning, not many thousands or millions of years after the beginning. Now, if we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, using the genealogies in the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11, we get about 2,000 years (Hodge, B; 2009). Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago). So, a simple calculation is:
There are other Biblical reasons to believe in a young earth. One of the main reasons is that the only other reason to believe in a very old earth is to allow time for evolution to occur. Often, biblical scholars admit that although Genesis is clear that the earth is young, they disagree on the basis that Science has "proven" that the earth is millions of years old. The following quote from the late Dr. Gleason Archer, is typical of this: "From a superficial reading of Genesis 1, the impression would seem to be that the entire creative process took place in six twenty-four-hour days. If this was the true intent of the Hebrew author … this seems to run counter to modern scientific research, which indicates that the planet Earth was created several billion years ago" (Archer, G; 1985).
Accepting millions of years of the geological ages (as the evolutionists interpret the fossil record) destroys the Bible's teaching on death, which clearly indicates that there was no animal death or human death before the Fall. In addition, there could not have been thorns and thistles and cancer (e.g., in dinosaur bones) in God's "very good" creation, so the rock layers that contain these things can't be millions of years old, but must have been deposited after Adam sinned (during the Flood).
Closely related to this is the character of God. The God revealed in the Bible could not possibly have created over millions of years involving death and disease and five mass-extinction events (when 70–90% of the creatures at the time were destroyed), as the evolutionists and old-earth creationists believe. Why not? Because the God of Scripture reveals that in the post-Fall world He cares for His creation (even though it is under His curse: Romans 8: 19-20.) He also commands the Israelites to care for their animals with compassion (e.g., they are to receive a Sabbath rest – Exodus 20:10; and Proverbs 12:10 says "A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal, but even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.")
Righteous sinners would be more righteous than God Almighty, if God really created and destroyed billions of animals for no moral reason over millions of years before Adam, the way old-earth creationists imagine. The God of the Bible is not the god of an old earth.
Destroying the Bible's teaching on death and undermining the character of God results in undermining the doctrine of redemption. Christ's work will ultimately restore all things (Acts 3:21) and redeem all things (Colossians 15:1-20) and liberate all things by bringing an end to the curse (Revelation 21:3-5). As His righteousness finally fills the new earth, carnivores and animals dangerous to man will be changed to harmless vegetarians (Isaiah 11: 9-6). Those of us going to heaven do not have to look forward to millions of years (really an eternity) of death, disease, catastrophes, etc. So belief in millions of years is a subtle attack on the gospel.
So those are the Biblical reasons that the Earth is around 6,000 years old.
Now for some scientific evidence of a young earth.
While no one can't get a definitive age for the earth, there are many evidences that back up the young age of the earth, as described in the Bible. I will now go through ten of these evidences.
1. Very little sediment on the sea floor.
2. Bent layers in rock formations.
Throughout the world, we see examples of bent rock layers. These layers are un-fractured, meaning that they had to be bent while the sediment was still soft (Goodman, R; 1980). The problem with this comes when these bent deposits are supposed to be laid down over many millions of years. You can't deposit sediments pre-bent, so these layers had to be bent after deposition. But if it took millions of years to lay the formation down, the layers would have solidified long before the formation was completed. This would make bent layers impossible, as they would have cracked as they were put under pressure. However in the Biblical flood, they could have been laid down quickly, before being bent while the formation was still soft. Bent layers are impossible in an old earth scenario, but make perfect sense in the Biblical worldview.
3. Soft tissue in fossils.
There is a remarkable amount of soft biological tissue in fossils. One of the most remarkable examples is the fossil squid, now in Creation Research's Jurassic Ark museum, which not only still has its ink sac intact, but also still has ink in it! (Mackay, J; 2011). In fact, the ink was so well preserved, that John Mackay was even able to get a feather, dissolve the ink in ammonia, and write the word "ink" on a piece of paper! To even think that this ink had survived over 100 million years is completely bonkers!
Another example is the multiple examples of soft biological tissue found in dinosaur bones. This was first discovered by Mary Schweitzer in 1995. When studying some samples of dinosaur bone marrow, she made incredible discovery. Amazingly, the bone marrow contained what appeared to be flexible tissue.
Initially, some sceptical scientists suggested that bacterial biofilms (bacteria aggregated in a slime) formed what only appear to be blood vessels and bone cells. Recently Schweitzer and co-workers found biochemical evidence for intact fragments of the protein collagen, which is the building block of connective tissue. This is important because collagen is a highly distinctive protein not made by bacteria. (Schweitzer, M; 2010)
Some evolutionists have strongly criticized Schweitzer's conclusions because they are understandably reluctant to concede the existence of blood vessels, cells with nuclei, tissue elasticity, and intact protein fragments in a dinosaur bone dated at 68 million years old. Other evolutionists, who find Schweitzer's evidence too compelling to ignore, simply conclude that there is some previously unrecognized form of fossilization that preserves cells and protein fragments over tens of millions of years.
Needless to say, no evolutionist has publically considered the possibility that dinosaur fossils are not millions of years old, but no one has given any plausible example as to how this soft tissue could have been preserved. Since people have started looking, we have found many more examples of even better soft tissue in dinosaur bone. (Mitchell, E; 2016)
4. Faint young sun paradox.
Evidence now supports astronomers' belief that the sun's power comes from the fusion of hydrogen into helium deep in the sun's core, but there is a huge problem. As the hydrogen fuses, it should change the composition of the sun's core, gradually increasing the sun's temperature. If true, this means that the earth was colder in the past. In fact, the earth would have been below freezing 3.5 billion years ago, when life supposedly evolved.
The rate of nuclear fusion depends upon the temperature. As the sun's core temperatures increase, the sun's energy output should also increase, causing the sun to brighten over time. Calculations show that the sun would brighten by 25% after 3.5 billion years. This means that an early sun would have been fainter, warming the earth 17°C less than it does today. That's below freezing.
Evolutionists acknowledge that there is no evidence of this in the geologic record. They even call this problem the "faint young sun paradox". While this isn't a problem over many thousands of years, it is a problem if the world is billions of years old.
5. Rapidly decaying magnetic field.
The earth has a magnetic field that protects life on earth from solar radiation. Without it, life could not exist. Scientists have recently discovered that the earth's magnetic field is rapidly decaying (MacDonald, A.L; Gunst, R.H; 1967). At the rate that it is decaying, the earth could not be older than twenty thousand years old. Note that this is a maximum age for the earth, not an actual age. It just shows that the earth could not even be one million years old, let alone billions of years old.
6. Recession of the moon.
The gravitational pull of the moon creates a "tidal bulge" on earth that causes the moon to spiral outwards very slowly. Because of this effect, the moon would have been closer to the earth in the past. Based on gravitational forces and the current rate of recession, we can calculate how much the moon has moved away over time. If the earth is only 6,000 years old, there's no problem, because in that time the moon would have only moved about 250 m. But most astronomy books teach that the moon is over four billion years old, which poses a major dilemma—less than 1.5 billion years ago the moon would have been touching the earth!
7. Carbon-14 in diamonds.
Carbon-14 is very short lived, with a half-life of only 5,730 years (Whitelaw, R; 1970). This means that no trace of carbon-14 should be found in minerals more than a couple of hundred thousand years. However large amounts of carbon-14 has been found in diamonds, which are dated at over a billion years! Again, this is evidence that the secular dates are wrong, and the actual observations are completely in line with the Biblical timeframe of 6,000 years.
8. Short lived comets.
A comet spends most of its time far from the sun in the deep freeze of space. But once each orbit a comet comes very close to the sun, allowing the sun's heat to evaporate much of the comet's ice and dislodge dust to form a beautiful tail. Comets have little mass, so each close pass to the sun greatly reduces a comet's size, and eventually comets fade away. They can't survive billions of years.
9. Very little salt in the sea.
If the earth's oceans were three billion years old, there should be vastly more salt in the sea than there is today. At today's rates of salt input, the oceans would have reached their current salinity within 42 million years (Austin, S; Humphreys, R; 1990) This is far too young for an old earth, and easily fits with the biblical age of 6,000 years when you realise that the Biblical flood would have washed large amounts of salt into the ocean, greatly reducing the 42 million years.
10. DNA in bacteria.
In 2000, scientists claimed to have "resurrected" bacteria, named Lazarus bacteria, discovered in a salt crystal conventionally dated at 250 million years old. They were shocked that the bacteria's DNA was very similar to modern bacterial DNA. If the modern bacteria were the result of 250 million years of evolution, its DNA should be very different from the Lazarus bacteria (based on known mutation rates). In addition, the scientists were surprised to find that the DNA was still intact after the supposed 250 million years. DNA normally breaks down quickly, even in ideal conditions.
Even evolutionists agree that DNA in bacterial spores (a dormant state) should not last more than a million years. Their quandary is quite substantial. However, the discovery of Lazarus bacteria is not shocking or surprising when we base our expectations on the Bible accounts. For instance, Noah's Flood likely deposited the salt beds that were home to the bacteria. If the Lazarus bacteria are only about 4,500 years old (the approximate number of years that have passed since the worldwide flood), their DNA is more likely to be intact and similar to modern bacteria (Nickle, D; 2002)
Over all, the evidence is clear: the Earth cannot be billions of years old, for both scientific and Biblical reasons. The age of around 6,000 years, given by the genealogies in Genesis makes much more sense.
For more on the age of the earth see the question:EARTH'S AGE: Where does the age for the earth of around 6,000 years come from? Answer by Diane Eager and Daniel Durston here.
*Not all young-earth creationists agree with this age. Some believe that there may be small gaps in the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11, and put the maximum age at about 10,000, to 12,000 years. However, I disagree with this, as you shall see later.

I really didn't want to spend more money at Sephora anytime soon but 15% off is too good of a deal to resist. Considering how rare it is to get a discount on any of their items, it's best to take advantage, right?! Luckily I had about $50 of store credit that I was able to put towards my purchases, so that helped a lot.
Of course, when I saw Sephora came out with two new skin care "Favourites" sets, I knew what I would be buying! I'm a sucker for their sets. Not only is it a great way to discover new products, but often there will be products included that you have already fallen in love with but are too cheap to buy the full size! XD
The first set contains 8 products and is called the "Ultimate Skincare Vault." It costs $46 CAD with a value of $92! That's 50% off which is nice enough already, but then factor in the 15% off and the deal gets sweeter.
Included in this set (along with my thoughts) are:
- Fresh Soy Face Cleansing Milk – I love their regular soy face cleanser so I'm sure this will be a great product also. It does say non-foaming, though. I like a lathering cleanser personally but as always, I'm willing to try it out!
- GlamGlow GravityMud Firming Treatment – I have been dying to try this! This is the mask that shows up silver on your face. It's for fine lines and wrinkles, firming, tightening, etc.
- Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream – This is a gel-cream which is something different for me. It has rosewater in it which is not only great for hydration but for redness in the skin, which I have.
- Laneige Water Sleeping Mask – I think I already have one of these minis laying around but I haven't tried it yet. I love Laneige's Water Bank Moisture Cream and Serum so I think this is going to be great.
- Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream – This is a product I am currently using and loving. I'm happy to have a backup for when it's finished! It really does work to brighten up and depuff the undereye! I always use this if I'm not wearing makeup.
- Ole Henriksen Truth Serum – This is one of my favourite serums! I will never say no to getting more minis of this! I'm in love with the orange scent of it. It does a great job of brightening the skin and it has anti-aging benefits also.
- Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel – I just used a sample of this the other night! My skin looked great and they were so easy to use. These are supposed to be great for people with acne prone skin because it uses exfoliating acids rather than beads.
- Caudalie Beauty Elixir – This product looks really neat! It's a priming spray and a setting spray for your makeup! I can't wait to try this and see how it performs.
The second set I purchased contains 7 products and is called "Power of the Petal." It costs $48 CAD with a value of $94. All of these items contain some sort of plant, flower or fruit ingredient. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this set. The website description claims the set includes a 1 oz bottle of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence but the majority of us did not get this item.
The picture on the front of the box I received does not show that product. However, I have seen YouTube unboxings where it does have the SK-II product pictured. The Sephora website now has the box pictured without the product but it still has it in the description (at time of writing)! So so strange.
People have been leaving reviews on Sephora about this and Sephora has been deleting them. I've heard that they do that but I've never seen it with my own eyes! I guess many people have inquired about this error and they are told they can return it rather than getting the missing item. It's all very sketch.
So drama aside, let's look at what the set includes:
- L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate – I'm always game to try new body creams and this one looks really good! It is supposed to smooth, hydrate and firm!
- Fresh Rose Face Mask – Another Fresh product with rosewater! It's definitely something I've always been interested to try and now I have the chance!
- Estée Edit Pink Peony Overnight Water Pack – This is a hydrating and brightening mask that you can use overnight! I've been using face packs a lot lately and my skin looks positively glowing in the morning. I'm sure this one will be no different.
- Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Face Lifting Soft Cream – I really like this brand. I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far. This soft cream looks special because it contains powerful skin care benefits but in a lightweight formula.
- Karuna Age-Defying+ Hand Mask – I love hand masks! They are great to use during a movie because they keep me off my phone and I can pay attention! XD I've tried Karuna's hydrating sheet masks for the face and they are fabulous so I'm sure these will be too.
- Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask – I do have some fine lines in my undereye area so I'm happy to get these! Eye masks in general are great because they are so much less messy than any other masks.
- Farmacy Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask – Deep Moisture (Cucumber) – A sheet mask for hydrating the skin! I love to use any sheet mask and I've always wanted to try this brand so I'm excited for this.
Both of the Favourites sets I ordered online separately (so I could get more free samples hehe) so I needed some cheap items to add to make up those few extra dollars for free shipping. I chose the Sephora Orchid Eye Mask for $6 CAD and the Sephora Coconut Lip Balm for $8 CAD.
I also ended up going in store and I redeemed some points. I chose the Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Eye Cream (which I've used before and loved), Ole Henriksen Counter Balance Oil Control Hydrator (because I have oily skin), Drybar Triple Sec 3-in-1 (it was recommended to me awhile back as a texturizer/volumizer but apparently it's also good to use as dry shampoo!), and Philosophy Time in a Bottle 100% In Control Serum (because I'm always in need of an anti-aging serum). These were all 100 point items.
I was able to use my store credit for the items I bought in store. I returned the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation last month because it was too dark for me. I went in thinking I was going to repurchase it in the correct shade but unfortunately they didn't have tester bottles for a couple of the lighter shades so I didn't want to pick the wrong shade again.
I decided to test out the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer since a lot of YouTubers seem to like it. I got mine in the shade 0.5 Breeze and it retails for $35 CAD. I've only used it twice so far but I'm liking it. The first time I used it, I used a sponge to apply it. I didn't think I was liking it because the foundation seemed to stick to the sponge too much rather than apply nicely on my face. So the second time I applied it, I switched to the Sephora Pro Flawless Airbrush and then used my sponge to blend it out more in some spots. I much preferred the finished look the second time! It didn't look cakey but the coverage was really good. I did still have to use concealer on pimples, though. I find the applicator (a giant doe foot) a little strange but also kind of neat because it's mess-free.
I also purchased the First Aid Beauty FAB Gym Bag Essentials Kit. At the time, it wasn't available online in the Canadian store so I thought I better pick it up since there were only a few left in store. It contains 4 items and cost $42 CAD with a $60 value.
The set included:
- Hello FAB Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturizer – This is fairly new and I wanted to try it instantly. If it says coconut, sign me up. It's also super intriguing to me because it's a moisturizer and a primer. It looks like it will be similar to Benefit's Porefessional in texture, and it's also supposed to blur pores.
- Hello FAB Vital Greens Face Mist – Tati did a review on this recently and I think she only thought it was ok but I was curious about it anyway. So I'm glad this kit comes with it so I can try it out for myself! It can be used for setting makeup or for refreshing it throughout the day!
- Ultra Repair Lip Therapy – I love trying new lip products! I haven't seen anyone talk about this one so I guess I'll be going in blind! I find lip products are something I need to test for myself anyway since my lips react easily.
- Face Cleanser – This was much bigger than I was expecting! Cleansers sold at Sephora are not something I go out of my way to buy on their own because all these sets always include new cleansers to try. I haven't tried this one yet so I'm happy to!
Lastly, here are my free foil samples: Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream, Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream, Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser, First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturizer, Briogeo Rosarco Repair Shampoo, Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and Eyes, and Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream.
That's it for my VIB haul! I need to stay away from Sephora for awhile now. Hopefully I can stay strong! Ha! We will see. I really want their new Lashstash To Go set! You get 4 deluxe samples of mascara plus a voucher to redeem a full size in store! I really don't need it but I sure want it!
Hope you all have a lovely week and thanks for reading!
xoxo, Tigritsa

You know, it's funny. how to make money with a blog sent out a tweet, a direct message yesterday. I was announcing my book launch and the person said "No, not interested." And then I followed up with an email on Facebook and said "Do you mind if we have a phone call?" and I gave her a little bit more information. And we followed up on a phone call today and sure enough, now she's in the plan. So, you know, sometimes it really, I think especially for those high end journalists and those people who are really busy everyday, some of them prefer email, some of them prefer linked-in, some of them prefer telephones, but it really is a requirement of everybody out there to get to know the audience.
Although NONE of my 6 web sites rank in Google's top 10 (or top 20 and 30 for that matter), and I only advertise 2 of my sites using AdWords, Google still helps me make a lot of high fashion blogs.
That might be seen as unfair to the Denver Examiners, but I'm of the opinion that everyone who can tell the news, be it "old school" news journalists or "new school" bloggers be supported. In the day an age where there are so few unbiased finance blog hk for the global public, I fall back on the adage, trust no one single source of information. Including Examiner.com, the Denverpost, Googlenews, etc. interesting articles about life .com is so important, in such a visible way, for letting citizens explore issues that matter to them. In top small business blogs , serving a different niche, the folks at the IN DENVER TIMES also need our support because they are still doing the job of telling the news.
Michelle Tennant: You know, I will recommend, Lynne, you know, I've been doing PR for 20 years. My first job was in Chicago when I was at DePaul and I went – every little university is gonna have the work/study programs and I went to my – you know, the motivated college students are gonna be going to that center, wherever that is in the university, to look for opportunities and you can actually phone that office that you have an internship opportunity and then they'll actually connect you, they'll put it in a big binder – well, probably now it's more electronic than 20 years ago was, but I remember I found a person who was looking for an inter to do PR, and that's where I first learned PR years ago.
Well, since top fashion blogs has been going on since the 60s, one has to wonder. These solutions to regulate, tax and employ folks in a new "legal" industry have been pondered and debated in the content marketing intern ad nauseam, it is a subject of debate even to this day.
Last night, for example, I looked up "Maine" and "onion." Why "onion"? Well, as http://shesaid.com/au/beauty/misc-beauty/best-fashion-blogs-misc-beauty/ said to Pinto, "uuurrrp Why not!" And it led to this – a fake news blog clip from The Onion, still one of the funniest sites on the web, reporting Barbara Bush running aground in Kennebunkport.
If the moment is right, make your pitch. Informal settings during the holidays mean people can be more relaxed, and if it so happens that you find yourself talking to someone who could be making a hiring decision for a job for which you are qualified, step up. Make https://sandiego.score.org/blog – bending someone's ear during a social event can plant the seeds for future opportunities. Tell them that you are actually looking and that perhaps you could solve their staffing problem… chances are that they'll bend forward to listen and be more receptive.

Beating Bowel Cancer was our Charity of 2016 and we stand by them in supporting their petition to: "Reduce bowel cancer screening age from 60 to 50"
We need your help to make a difference – please sign this petition and show your support in saving more lives https://www.beatingbowelcancer.org/reduce-bowel-cancer-screening-age-60-50/
When we catch bowel cancer early nearly everyone survives, yet it is the second biggest cancer killer. Variations in the screening age across the UK are leading to thousands of bowel cancer patients in their 50s missing out on the opportunity of being diagnosed early. Within this campaign, we have heard many sad stories about people in their 50s dying from bowel cancer. We were also shocked to discover that in Scotland they do have a screening age from 50years old.
We were privileged to be invited to The House of Commons for a Parliamentary Reception on 25th January this year to support the launch of this campaign and it was great to see so many MP's attending, we met with David Mowat (MP for Warrington South) – see our photo with him supporting this change.
If the screening age was reduced from age 60 to 50 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to be in line with Scotland, over 4,000 patients a year would be given the chance to be diagnosed earlier.
Want to know more about bowel cancer?
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK today, affecting around 1 in 19 women and 1 in 14 men. According to Cancer Research UK, there are now more than 41,900 new cases of bowel cancer being diagnosed every year.
If diagnosed at an early stage, bowel cancer can be treated very successfully in over 90% of cases. In spite of this, bowel cancer remains the UK's second biggest cancer killer, claiming a life every half an hour.
43% of bowel cancer cases are diagnosed in people aged 75 years and over, and 95% are diagnosed in those aged 50 and over. However, bowel cancer can affect anyone at any age – around 5% of new bowel cancer cases are in people aged under 50.
Survival rates for bowel cancer are lower in the UK than in many other European countries and there is variation in the quality of care, depending on where you're treated. Positive improvements are happening all the time in bowel cancer diagnosis, treatment and care. But we need to do better. Bowel cancer can be beaten – if we act to diagnose more people early and we deliver the best possible care and treatment.
We need to make sure bowel cancer is diagnosed earlier. When diagnosed at stage 1, more than nine out of ten (97%) people survive for five years or more. At stage 4, this drops to less than one in ten (7%).
Being aware of the symptoms of bowel cancer is the most important part of protecting yourself from the disease.
If you notice any one or more of the higher risk symptoms listed here, it is usually quite safe to watch and wait for up to three weeks. But if the symptoms have not settled down after this time, you should get advice from your GP. He/she will often be able to offer a simple explanation and reassurance once they have taken a history of your symptoms and examined you. The GP will also be able to make a referral to the appropriate person if they feel you should be investigated further.
Most people with these symptoms DO NOT have bowel cancer, but your GP will certainly want to examine you and may refer you or do further tests to rule it out.
Higher risk symptoms:
A change in your bowel habit
Has your normal bowel habit changed? Are you going to the toilet more often or experiencing looser poo (diarrhoea). Do you have constipation, a feeling of fullness or incomplete emptying of your back passage after going to the toilet?
A lump in your abdomen (tummy)
Can you feel a new, unexplained lump in your abdomen (tummy) which doesn't go away?
Bleeding from the bottom or blood in your poo
Have you noticed bleeding from your bottom with no obvious reason such as local soreness, piles (haemorrhoids) or tears (anal fissures)? Have you tried over the counter remedies, but the condition has not improved?
Unexplained tiredness, dizziness or breathlessness
Do you feel constantly tired, dizzy or breathless? Are you looking paler than usual? These may be signs of anaemia (low iron levels in your blood).
Pain in your abdomen (tummy)
Do you have constant or intermittent pain anywhere in your abdomen? It may be linked to going to the toilet or it might come and go like cramps or colic.
Unexplained weight loss
Have you lost weight without dieting, maybe due to reduced appetite, feeling bloated or sick?
Bowel cancer affects over 41,000 people every year – men and women of all ages – and claims almost 50 lives every day. BUT if bowel cancer is caught early over 90% of cases can be treated successfully. If you have symptoms and you are worried, make an appointment and talk to your GP.
